best thanks ever

I've owed my Ari-love a birthday present for about a million years. No joke. And then I stumbled across this pattern and thought I'd better give it a go. And it's a funny thing to make something you wouldn't necessarily wear yourself, but that you know someone else, someone dear to you, will love (whether they wear it or not is a different story entirely of course). So I knit this (rather deformed) little goddess shawl up for Ari, and I got the following voicemail message the other day: "You are the fucking high priestess of knitting!" And that's just about the best thanks I could ever imagine getting. Love you, Ari. Love you so very, very much.
